I recommend an axle like part # 35545E-ST-89. This axle has a distance of 89 inches hub-face-to-hub-face and a spring center-to-center measurement of 74 inches. The brake flange-to-flange distance is 82-5/8 inches. The axle has 10 inch x 2-1/4 inch brake drum dimensions and a 5 on 4-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern. This will accommodate 13 to 15 inch diameter wheels. Based on the measurements you provided, this will work well for you.

This axle comes with brakes, hubs, drums, bearings, races, seals, and mounting hardware.

The U-Bolt Kit I recommend is part # APUBR-1. If you decide you want to replace the leaf springs you have I recommend part # SP-210275. These are double-eye springs for 3,500 lb axles.
